PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Morrison Lee (ranked 219 p4p, 25 weight class) and Koulouraki Souvlaki (ranked 235 p4p, 26 weight class). Lee kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Pretender. Souvlaki has chosen Greek Anthem as his entrance music. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
