PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Klaus Tannenbaum (ranked 3760 p4p, 4447 weight class) and Trevor Love (ranked 443 p4p, 501 weight class). Tannenbaum comes into the arena with Helge Schneider - Bonbon aus Wurst blaring out of the sound system. Love comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Heart Crusher kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Trevor Love 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!
