PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roque Barretto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Giljotin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barretto's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Last Man Standing - By 4ft Fingers. Giljotin has chosen Ticon - Miss 11 PM (DJ CHILLER REMIX 2011) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
