PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between James Hartman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jackson Ramos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hartman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fuel-Metallica. Jackson Ramos 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!
