PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Omar Boulami (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jordan Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boulami's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Rock - Mustapha Ibrahim. Taylor has chosen Bow Down as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jordan Taylor will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
