PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cory Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Robbins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is DJ Shadow - Organ Donor. 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?
