PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jake Kilmster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Werkka Easterlund (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kilmster kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Maylene & The Sons of Disaster - Darkest of Kin. Easterlund is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Harbinger of Sorrow. Werkka Easterlund told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
