PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Gunnar Johnsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamal Quik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnsson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kashmir - Led Zeppelin. Quik has chosen Zro ft. Devin the Dude - Hit'em with the Mule (Ratatatat Remix) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
