PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Petrovish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kent Fanny (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Petrovish kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Don't Cry. Fanny is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Philadelphia Freedom. 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!
