PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kauko Partio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zack Skyshriek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Partio kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Decode - Me, You and Pain. Skyshriek has chosen Moonlight Sonata as his entrance music. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
