PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bass Rotten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Ronman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rotten kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nothing Else Matters. Ronman has chosen It's A Fight as his entrance music. Bob Ronman 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!
