PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joe Bone (ranked 993 p4p, 145 weight class) and Jammal Drinkwiskey (ranked 1458 p4p, 205 weight class). Bone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You'll Never Walk Alone. Drinkwiskey comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Distress - Progress/Regress kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
