PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quentin Ventura (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Eriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ventura kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Way of Life. Karl Eriksson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
