PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Nolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Ross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nolan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eye of the Tiger. Ross has chosen Limp Bizkit-My way or the high way as his entrance music. 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?
