PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hank Blair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Klas Micropop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blair kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bullet by Creed. Micropop has chosen Killer Instinct as his entrance music. Klas Micropop has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
