PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bomber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barney Rubble (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bomber kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is call to prayer. The crowd seem to be enjoying Rubble's choice of entrance music: Rage Against The Machine - No Shelter. Barney Rubble told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
