PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Jones (ranked 475 p4p, 65 weight class) and Carl Moore (ranked 1136 p4p, 153 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to King of Kings - Motorhead. The crowd seem to be enjoying Moore's choice of entrance music: Sad Man's Tongue by Volbeat. Billy Jones has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
