PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johann Joensen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chemical Ali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Joensen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gasolina. Ali has chosen Slayer - Jihad as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Chemical Ali has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Johann Joensen's chin.
