PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Demian Maia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamal Quik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Quik's choice of entrance music: Zro ft. Devin the Dude - Hit'em with the Mule (Ratatatat Remix). Jamal Quik told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
