PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Wuzz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franz Beckenbauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wuzz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Lützenkirchen - German Kiss. The crowd seem to be enjoying Beckenbauer's choice of entrance music: Apaga mas năo bate . Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
