PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Umberto Duran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I'm fat. Duran is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Hatebreed - Live for this. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
