PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Webb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Byron Doerkson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Webb kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hells Bells by AC/DC. Doerkson has chosen Nile - Annihilation Of The Wicked 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?
