PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Antoni Hong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jingle Jingle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jingle has chosen Kay Kyser - I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle as his entrance music. 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?
