PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sam Hall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Hamster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hall's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, AC/DC - Hell's Bells. Richard Hamster told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
