PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bjorn Ragnarsson (ranked 397 p4p, 58 weight class) and Mel Gordon (ranked 933 p4p, 148 weight class). Ragnarsson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Anja - Where I Am. The crowd seem to be enjoying Gordon's choice of entrance music: S.O.B. - Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats. Bjorn Ragnarsson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
