PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sinbad Sailor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeffrey Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sailor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sailing on the Seven Seas. The crowd seem to be enjoying Miller's choice of entrance music: Killers. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
