PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between David Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Sandman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is On to the Next One. Sandman has chosen Enter Sandman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
