PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Robert Brunson (ranked 23128 p4p, 555 weight class) and Third Tourn (ranked 23680 p4p, 510 weight class). Brunson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Flinstones Theme Song. Tourn has chosen Korpiklaani - Suden Joiku as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Robert Brunson has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
