PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Seamus MacNamara (ranked 146 p4p, 294 weight class) and Disco Kid (ranked 16 p4p, 30 weight class). MacNamara comes to the cage accompanied by The Ramones - I Wanna Live. Kid has chosen Wu Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
