PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Arctic Char (ranked 2926 p4p, 2043 weight class) and Ronin Huynh (ranked 264 p4p, 185 weight class). Char kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ice Ice Baby - Vanilla Ice. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
