PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Toby Keith Yrkje (ranked 169 p4p, 175 weight class) and Kronos Doomsday (ranked 21 p4p, 23 weight class). Yrkje kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is As Good As I Once Was. Doomsday is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Main Theme - Doom Eternal. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
