PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Russell Tyrone Jones (ranked 4 p4p, 1 weight class) and Pablo Mara�on (ranked 47 p4p, 8 weight class). Tyrone Jones's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ol' Dirty Bastard - Brooklyn Zoo. Mara�on has chosen Pistolero 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?
