PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Ian Carroll (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tony Stackhouse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carroll kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ladies and Gentlemen by Saliva. Stackhouse is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Papercut by Linkin Park. 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?
