PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Judge Holden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Mir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holden kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Act a Fool. Mir has chosen Spoilin For A Fight as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Frank Mir enters the ring!
