PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ramon Manlucas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marduk Thorn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manlucas's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Killer Mike - Big Beast (Feat. Bun B, T.I. & Trouble). Thorn comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Rob Dougan - Clubbed to Death kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Ramon Manlucas could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Marduk Thorn's chin.
