PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Diego Franco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jew Doh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Franco kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is The Animals - House of the Rising Sun. Doh has chosen Hurt - NIN as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Diego Franco has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
