PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jigoro Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeppe Turska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kane kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Under a Killing Moon by Thrice. Turska has chosen Last of the Mohicans Theme as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
