PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joseph Shoznes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Danze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shoznes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei. Danze has chosen Handle ur Bizness by the Mash Out Possee 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?
