PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Galen Dall (ranked 3 p4p, 1 weight class) and Kasey Scorpion (ranked 49 p4p, 9 weight class). Dall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Red - Already Over. Scorpion has chosen Jiu Jitsu as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
