PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Filipe Acosta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Vegas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Acosta kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Saw Theme. Vegas comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ace Of Spades by Motorhead kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
