PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kwame Redcliffe (ranked 489 p4p, 583 weight class) and Sun Lutang (ranked 76 p4p, 86 weight class). Redcliffe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Close Your Eyes (And Count To F**k). The crowd seem to be enjoying Lutang's choice of entrance music: Enter The LuTang. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
