PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Rakhmetov Chernyshevsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Werkka Easterlund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chernyshevsky kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Sisters of Mercy -- Lucretia. The crowd seem to be enjoying Easterlund's choice of entrance music: Harbinger of Sorrow. This should be fireworks!
