PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bjorn Bogart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and TJ Welsh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bogart's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Dutch National Anthem" by Het Wilhelmus. Welsh has chosen Lets Have A War as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
