PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Carlito Brigante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doug McSwain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brigante kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem. McSwain has chosen Jack Thammarat - My Headache Song as his entrance music. Doug McSwain has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
