PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ares Constantinides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ladislav Hemsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Constantinides kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is War by Judas Priest. Hemsky comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Onward to Victory kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
