PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Amri Mbeki (ranked 629 p4p, 390 weight class) and Douglas Sampson (ranked 84 p4p, 52 weight class). Mbeki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Where The Hood At. Sampson has chosen Sunshine (ft.
