PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Moe Lester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freiherr Albrecht Alexander von Altenburg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lester's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I Feel Wonderful. von Altenburg is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Richard Wagner's Die Walküre. Freiherr Albrecht Alexander von Altenburg 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!
