PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bjorn Ragnarsson (ranked 383 p4p, 53 weight class) and Ras Li Judah (ranked 349 p4p, 50 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. Judah has chosen Limb By Limb as his entrance music. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
