PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Michael Kimmo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Kirby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kimmo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Roni Size-Bite The Bullet. Kirby has chosen Forgot about dre. as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
