PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between DeShawn Jackson (ranked 288 p4p, 39 weight class) and Charles Ng (ranked 511 p4p, 57 weight class). Jackson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Green Card. Ng comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Wedlock - I'm The Fuck You Man kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
