PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Myles O Donnell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manolo Fu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Donnell kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Anti by Mayhem. Fu is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by A Fifth Of Beethoven. Manolo Fu has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
