PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Clark Kent (ranked 354 p4p, 47 weight class) and Sala Barbo (ranked 148 p4p, 17 weight class). Kent's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Save Me - Remy Zero (Smallville Theme). Barbo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Nissim. Sala Barbo told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
