PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Scott Watt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nils Holgersson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Watt kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Edmund Fitzgerald. Holgersson has chosen Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
