PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aleksander Ivanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Factor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ivanov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Step Into A World (Rapture's Delight). 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!
