PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Julio Cruz (ranked 5911 p4p, 121 weight class) and Bruce Schlimen (ranked 4657 p4p, 101 weight class). Cruz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Guess Who's Coming To Dinner. Schlimen has chosen Wavey as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Bruce Schlimen enters the cage!
