PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rockmeteller Todd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Quin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Todd kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jeeves and Wooster. The crowd seem to be enjoying Quin's choice of entrance music: Captain Jack - Iko Iko. 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?
