PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kong Le (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mannerheim kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Touch Of Red. Le has chosen Ave Maria as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kong Le has the eye of the tiger tonight.
