PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cole Flynn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shaun Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flynn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Anthem For The Underdog. Nelson has chosen Battle Hymn as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
