PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Qhorin Halfhand (ranked 332 p4p, 37 weight class) and Jack Morgan (ranked 359 p4p, 39 weight class). Halfhand kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still. Jack Morgan told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
