PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jake LaMotta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris River (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). LaMotta kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cavalleria Rusticana: Intermezzo. River has chosen A Country Boy Can Survive as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
