PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nathan Corbett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Bosh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Corbett's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Men at Work - Down Under. Chris Bosh told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
