UPF 11: Bum Vs. Rai PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jace Malnon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Rayburn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malnon's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Day of the Dead. Rayburn has chosen God's Gonna Cut You Down as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jace Malnon has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
