PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Greg Coleman (ranked 120 p4p, 18 weight class) and Ramses Xll (ranked 452 p4p, 72 weight class). Coleman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Mother Earth - Not Quite Sonic. Xll has chosen World Order - Have A Nice Day as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
