PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arvo Laar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Bloodgood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laar's entrance music is some random 90's estonia dance song i found on youtube. A fine choice. Bloodgood is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bloodgood - What's Following the Grave. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
