PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mate Orsic (ranked 512 p4p, 581 weight class) and Bald Martin (ranked 58 p4p, 67 weight class). Orsic kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is KRS One - Rappaz R. N. Dainja. Martin comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I�m Bald And I Know It kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
