PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Billy Rose (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evangelista Nunes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rose's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Soothsayer. Nunes has chosen Never Be Alone as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
