PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Surfer Dude (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Don Wilson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dude kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jack Johnson - You And Your Heart. Wilson has chosen The Last Dragon as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
