PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Trang Troc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Connor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Troc kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dr. Octagon - Real Raw. Connor has chosen Ça vaut mieux que d'attraper la scarlatine by Ray Venture as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
