PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Atha Wolf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Pacquiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pacquiao has chosen Justin Bieber ft. Ariana Grande - Let Me Think Bout You as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
