PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kimbo Spice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yoel Romero Palacio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spice kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Grayson Sanders – Beautiful Crime . Romero Palacio has chosen SOLDIER OF GOD' Yoel Romero as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
