PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Pearson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maurie Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pearson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Justin Bieber ft. Ariana Grande - Let Me Think Bout You. Pope has chosen Sepultura - Ratamahatta 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?
