PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between The Sigit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Hansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sigit kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The S.I.G.I.T. - Provocateur. Hansen has chosen AC/DC - Big Gun as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
