PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Luger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Noonan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Luger's entrance music is Right Here, Right Now - Fatboy Slim. A fine choice. Noonan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 3DD - Kryptonite. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
