PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Mr Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luiz Soto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Black's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, yes. Soto has chosen Busta Rhymes Feat Eminem - I'll Hurt You as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mr Black has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
