PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ansgar Axelsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Deangelo Jeremetrius Vickers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Axelsson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is one bourbon one scotch one beer. Vickers has chosen Boats N' Hoes 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.
