PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mr Azure (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lik Alotadik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Azure kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is War, War Never Changes. Alotadik has chosen When Death comes Knocking - Primal Fear as his entrance music. Lik Alotadik has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
