PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Motecuhzoma Xocoyotzin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Boom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Xocoyotzin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eminem - Till I Collapse. Boom has chosen Fedor Entrance Song as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
