PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ezekiel Broomsdale (ranked 2341 p4p, 3191 weight class) and RaeRae Usman (ranked 304 p4p, 390 weight class). Broomsdale kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Masta. Usman has chosen Yaba Buluku as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
