PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Morgernstern (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clay Pearson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Morgernstern's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Te a la menthe. Pearson has chosen Five Finger Death Punch White Knuckles as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
