PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Solomon Carver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dick Offenhard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carver's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jay Z - Run this Town (Broken Halo Remix). Offenhard has chosen Ghostface Killah - Daytona 500 as his entrance music. Dick Offenhard is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
