PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Willy Diamonds (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Mayweather (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diamonds's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Use your fist and not your mouth - Marilyn Manson. Mayweather is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mama said knock you out!. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
