PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Le Blanc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henry Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Le Blanc kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Know It's Over - By The Smiths. Morgan has chosen No Easy Way Out as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
