PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tiger Mask (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rhomboid Goatcabin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mask kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Roxette - Listen To Your Heart. Goatcabin has chosen Selfishly Irritating as his entrance music. Tiger Mask has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
