PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lawrence King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jordan Mondello (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). King kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ennio Morricone - Once Upon a Time in the West. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
