PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Christian Mubango (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zdravko Dren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mubango kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jessie J - Bang Bang. Dren is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: GETO BOYS - mind of a lunatic. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
