PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Clay Hawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and River Walken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hawkins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Diary of a Taxi Driver by Bernard Herrmann. Walken has chosen Flim Star by Suede as his entrance music. River Walken will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
