PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hyryx Dall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Kingsley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rattlesnake. Kingsley is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Alpenglow (instrumental) - Nightwish. Hyryx Dall has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
