PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Gantis Kantis (ranked 3590 p4p, 175 weight class) and Monyakul Sathianthai (ranked 3579 p4p, 173 weight class). Kantis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pitbull - Give Me Everything ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Nayer. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
