PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hinto Kangee (ranked 242 p4p, 622 weight class) and Nazaire Chenevert (ranked 32 p4p, 93 weight class). Kangee's entrance music is Kalush Orchestra - Stefania. A fine choice. Chenevert has chosen A Milli as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
