PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Toni Huerta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ares Constantinides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Huerta kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Arch Enemy- The Great Darkness. The crowd seem to be enjoying Constantinides's choice of entrance music: War by Judas Priest. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
