PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Atticus Finch (ranked 631 p4p, 574 weight class) and Adim Bulb (ranked 78 p4p, 69 weight class). Finch kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ghetto Bird- Ice Cube. Bulb has chosen Breaking Benjamin - Lights Out as his entrance music. This should be fireworks!
