PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jake Mahone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Turnbull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mahone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper. Turnbull is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by "Haka". 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?
