PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andre Tolstoy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robin Gaia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tolstoy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Prong - Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck. Gaia has chosen Manowar- Battle Hymn as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
