PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Corbin Creed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pasi Pulkannaru (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Creed kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 50 Cent walks stone cold out - Patiently Waiting. Pulkannaru is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Judas Priest - Pain Killer. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
