PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Grzegorz Bomba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Royce Grace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bomba kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dreadlock Holiday. The crowd seem to be enjoying Grace's choice of entrance music: Go To Sleep - Eminem. Grzegorz Bomba has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
