PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Wain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Seanoa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wain kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bring the Noise. Seanoa has chosen Mama Said Knock You Out as his entrance music. 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.
