PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hjalti Eyj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Two Steps From Hell: Wrath of Sea [Extended Remix]. Eyj has chosen I'm Sexy and I Know It as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jimmy Jones has a significant reach advantage - let's see if he can make it count.
