PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Keith Farley (ranked 590 p4p, 476 weight class) and Nathan Ghost (ranked 73 p4p, 63 weight class). Farley kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Highway to Hell - ACDC. Ghost has chosen Hollywood Undead - Fuck The World as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
