PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Brophy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Adams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brophy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Disappear - Metallica. Adams has chosen Thom Pace - Maybe as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
