PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Henrik Torhammer (ranked 830 p4p, 100 weight class) and Better Dead (ranked 1436 p4p, 164 weight class). Torhammer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Doom Unit - Killing Time. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dead's choice of entrance music: Death March - Motionless in White. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
