PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ned Kelly (ranked 671 p4p, 1055 weight class) and Alika Hakekia (ranked 97 p4p, 154 weight class). Kelly kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I'm a Criminal. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hakekia's choice of entrance music: Nation Of Violence . Ned Kelly has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
