PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Marsh (ranked 1080 p4p, 3797 weight class) and Adam Porsche (ranked 95 p4p, 268 weight class). Marsh's entrance music is Morning Musume - Love Revolution 21. A fine choice. Porsche has chosen Hate it or Love it as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
