PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Tatov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ralph McGuire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tatov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Soundgarden - Superunknown. McGuire has chosen Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Ralph McGuire enters the cage!
