PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hans Landa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Heston Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Landa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ich tu dir weh - Rammstein. Gracie is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Animal I Have Become. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
