PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Crash Bandicoot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adam Rubio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bandicoot kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Crash Bandicoot: Jungle Rollers Remix. 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.
