PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Renan Melo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Junior Singh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Singh has chosen Never Been by Dub Phizix & Fox as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Junior Singh will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
