PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ziggy Stardust (ranked 880 p4p, 892 weight class) and Sao Alela (ranked 128 p4p, 129 weight class). Stardust kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Starman. Alela has chosen Cryin' Like a Bitch as his entrance music. Sao Alela has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
