PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nick Albodean (ranked 2806 p4p, 3630 weight class) and Tua Hohepa (ranked 298 p4p, 374 weight class). Albodean kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I ain't worried - One Republic. Tua Hohepa has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
