PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Willie Whoopins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kengo Mulumba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Whoopins's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Holy Moses. Mulumba comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bongo Bong - Manu Chao kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
