PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dong Uk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stnd up (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Uk kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is KOAN Sound & Asa - This Time Around (feat. Koo). Dong Uk has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
