PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wu Tang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Bullard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tang's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta Fuck Wit. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bullard's choice of entrance music: Wrecking Ball. 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.
