PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Haji Muakbar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nezu Nambara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muakbar's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, That Punjabi Jay-Z song. Nambara has chosen This Is Goodbye - Blue Foundation as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
