PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Edgar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Hamburger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Edgar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kick In The Door. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Hector Hamburger was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
