PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Demon Monkey (ranked 4944 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lucas Campos (ranked 4866 p4p, 0 weight class). Monkey's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bransjehora. 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?
