PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jon Hess (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky McColgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hess kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Demiurge. McColgan has chosen The Gael as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
