PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Chris Fda (ranked 5216 p4p, 573 weight class) and Kane Shaam (ranked 4009 p4p, 477 weight class). Fda's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hate Me Now. Shaam comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Shamrock kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
