PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fincent LeBlond (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yedo Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). LeBlond kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kari Tapio - Olen Suomalainen. Kim has chosen "We Be Clubbin (Eye of the Tiger Remix)" by Ice Cube as his entrance music. Yedo Kim will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
