PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Adam Resso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Berkowitz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Resso's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Avenged Sevenfold-Beast and the Harlot. The crowd seem to be enjoying Berkowitz's choice of entrance music: Macabre - Son Of Sam. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
