PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harald Loe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kuai Lai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Loe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE "bulls on parade". Lai has chosen CKY - Chinese Rap as his entrance music. Harald Loe has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
