PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Magnus Magnusson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sandu Lungu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Magnusson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Little Talks - Of Monsters And Men. Lungu has chosen You Ain't Stoppin Me as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sandu Lungu has the eye of the tiger tonight.
