PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Dayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rama Chulalongkorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dayne kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is South of Heaven. Chulalongkorn has chosen "Sagat's Theme," by Takayuki Aihara as his entrance music. This should be fireworks!
