PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Hawthorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matias Alderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hawthorn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sam & Dave - Soul Man. Alderson has chosen Dark moon High tide as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
