PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kalle Krook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Christian Igali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Krook kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Courage. Igali is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Firestarter - The Prodigy. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
