PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Vinny Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dmitry Petrenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hopkins kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Manny Pacquiao - Lalaban Ako . Petrenko has chosen Bro Hymm/ Pennywise as his entrance music. Dmitry Petrenko has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
