PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Abelardo De Leon (ranked 328 p4p, 650 weight class) and Alexev Savinov (ranked 45 p4p, 74 weight class). De Leon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mercenary - F.O.O.L. & Power Glove. Savinov has chosen HonestKey- Point A as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
