PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jigoro Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Solomon Carver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kane kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Under a Killing Moon by Thrice. Carver has chosen Jay Z - Run this Town (Broken Halo Remix) as his entrance music. Solomon Carver has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
