PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brendan Colon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Lii (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Colon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Listen to the Beethoven. Lii has chosen Legend of the Ocean as his entrance music. Brendan Colon looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
