PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Unai Arana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wade Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Arana kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jesus was a terrorist. Walker is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: wanted dead or alive. Wade Walker is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
