PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuri Rook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kid Rock - American Badass. Rook has chosen Mr Krinkle as his entrance music. Yuri Rook told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
