PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Terry Shaw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeorge Johanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shaw's entrance music is Dancing Queen. A fine choice. Johanson comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ain't No Grave- Johnny Cash kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
