PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nick Graves (ranked 4 p4p, 48 weight class) and Mick Murphy (ranked 1 p4p, 6 weight class). Graves 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. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
