PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Purple Aki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Castiel Angel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Slim Whitman - Indian Love Call.
