PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Billy Brown (ranked 932 p4p, 2391 weight class) and Mateusz Biernat (ranked 109 p4p, 266 weight class). Brown kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is CCR - Bad Moon Rising. Biernat comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ballroom Blitz kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Mateusz Biernat told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
