PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roberto Fabinho (ranked 230 p4p, 164 weight class) and Rich Mahogany (ranked 33 p4p, 23 weight class). Fabinho kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Glowed Up - Kaytranada. Mahogany has chosen Dio - We Rock as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rich Mahogany is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
