PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Ross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ramon Manlucas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ross kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Neck of the Woods. Manlucas is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Killer Mike - Big Beast (Feat. Bun B, T.I. & Trouble). Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
