PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Chris Mayo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dmonray Malapitan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mayo's entrance music is Super Furry Animals - Golden Retriever. A fine choice. Malapitan has chosen My Time is Now as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Chris Mayo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
