PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mooney Rutten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hopkins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Testament- Return To Serenity. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
