PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rashid Magomedov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lefteris Samaras (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magomedov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chris Brown - See You Again Feat. Tyga & Wiz Khalifa. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
