PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Laurens Van Der Sluijs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Price (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van Der Sluijs kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shutterbugg - Big Boi Feat. Cutty. Price is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Not Afraid. Laurens Van Der Sluijs has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
