PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paulo Ganso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Mendes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ganso kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dont stop Believing. Mendes comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Roy Jones - Can't be touched kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
