PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jingle Jingle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Norman Parke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jingle's entrance music is Kay Kyser - I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle. A fine choice. 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.
