PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nils Norling (ranked 691 p4p, 960 weight class) and Walad Anubis (ranked 90 p4p, 123 weight class). Norling kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Eminem - Go To Sleep. Anubis has chosen Hideaway as his entrance music. Walad Anubis told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
