PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hung Dong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keiji Hashimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dong's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Lollipop - BIGBANG and 2NE1. Hashimoto has chosen Chopin's Funeral March in B flat minor as his entrance music. 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?
