PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Marco Polo (ranked 3710 p4p, 364 weight class) and Marshall Law (ranked 13924 p4p, 606 weight class). Polo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is On The Floor. The crowd seem to be enjoying Law's choice of entrance music: K.C.S.. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
