PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Numero Cero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jango Fett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cero's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hate Me Now - Nas. The crowd seem to be enjoying Fett's choice of entrance music: Till I collapse. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
