PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hade Wood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Halfway Crook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wood kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mama Said Knock You Out. Crook has chosen Shook Ones pt II as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
