PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stanley Burrell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ninja Monk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burrell kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Can't Touch This. Monk has chosen On To The Next One as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ninja Monk has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
