PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Shteve Erthegg (ranked 1669 p4p, 1540 weight class) and Long Duck (ranked 146 p4p, 135 weight class). Erthegg kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Office Theme. Duck has chosen Trouble man as his entrance music. Long Duck has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
