PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derric Styles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Bourne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Styles kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Party Up. Bourne has chosen Bawitdaba as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
