PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leland Palmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Melvin Manhoef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palmer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Annihilator - Fun Palace. Manhoef has chosen Killing In The Name as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Leland Palmer has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
