PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Duggan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anton Rajatorppa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duggan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The United States National Anthem. The crowd seem to be enjoying Rajatorppa's choice of entrance music: At The Gates - Blinded by Fear. Jim Duggan could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Anton Rajatorppa's chin.
