PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ludvig Eriksson (ranked 4055 p4p, 2720 weight class) and Emilio Morterero (ranked 484 p4p, 357 weight class). Eriksson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is THICC THICCLY. Morterero has chosen Tequila Sunrise (Spanish Version) as his entrance music. Emilio Morterero will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
