PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ernie Els (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dee Pain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Els kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cassidy - Wake Up. Pain has chosen AC/DC - If you want Blood (You've got it) as his entrance music. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
