PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alistair Velasquez (ranked 4962 p4p, 594 weight class) and David Hamil (ranked 5505 p4p, 630 weight class). Velasquez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fort Minor ft Styles of Beyond - Remember The Name. Hamil has chosen I want to know what love is as his entrance music. David Hamil will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
