PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Delaney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cheick Kongo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Delaney kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Natalie Portman's Rap. Cheick Kongo has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
