PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antero Rokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stephen Quadros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rokka kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Twilight Guardians - Out of Our Hands. Quadros has chosen Pride Theme as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
