PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Elijah Pitakaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Garbutt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pitakaka kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is my dick. The crowd seem to be enjoying Garbutt's choice of entrance music: Saxon - Strong Arm of the Law. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
