PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Abrams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Optimus Prime (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abrams kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kreator - Violent Revolution . Prime has chosen Rich Boy - Boy Looka Here as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
