PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wolfgang Becker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith comes into the arena with frenzal rhomb - Mum changed the locks blaring out of the sound system. Becker has chosen Mr Boombastic as his entrance music. Wolfgang Becker is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
