PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Garth Algar (ranked 4541 p4p, 229 weight class) and Benjamin Boogie (ranked 4559 p4p, 232 weight class). Algar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Foxy Lady, Jimi Hendrix. Boogie has chosen Dance Dance Dance - Steve Miller Band as his entrance music. Benjamin Boogie will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
