PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kuure (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rhomboid Goatcabin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kuure's entrance music is Mark Tyler - London Let's 'Ave Yer!. A fine choice. Goatcabin has chosen Selfishly Irritating as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kuure has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
