PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Luc Van Acker (ranked 2874 p4p, 329 weight class) and Vlad Black (ranked 2581 p4p, 292 weight class). Van Acker kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Imperial March (L.O.D. Rage Mix). The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
