PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hokkus Pokkus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Flashlighter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pokkus's entrance music is Pantera - Walk. A fine choice. Flashlighter comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Aerosmith - Lightning Strikes kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
