PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nick Graves (ranked 84 p4p, 215 weight class) and Aku Serronen (ranked 14 p4p, 33 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. Aku Serronen 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!
