PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Danny Volcanic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Volcanic kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 2Pac ft stretch-Under Pressure. Luke Jones 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!
