PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mick Lenny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dennis Nilsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lenny kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Convoy. Nilsson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Zukyun Love by Mini Moni. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
