PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marcos Duarte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Flavio Lazzarini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duarte kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Go 2 Sleep by Ludacris. Lazzarini has chosen Goffredo Mameli - 'Il Canto degli Italiani' as his entrance music. Marcos Duarte had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
