PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Thorvald Nansen (ranked 6417 p4p, 3027 weight class) and Melo Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nansen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Benny Jamz - Torden. Carter has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. This should be fireworks!
