PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adils Hallbjornsson (ranked 247 p4p, 709 weight class) and Richard Rockefeller (ranked 39 p4p, 98 weight class). Hallbjornsson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Herr Mannelig. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
