PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donny Donowitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bishop's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Aggro?. Donowitz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: The Bear Jew . Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
