PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ed Banner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dolph Duckk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Banner kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rusty Cage - Soundgarden. Duckk has chosen Du Hast: Rammstein as his entrance music. Dolph Duckk has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
