PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Maxwell House (ranked 719 p4p, 101 weight class) and Ludo Van Veen (ranked 798 p4p, 105 weight class). House kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Coffee?. The crowd seem to be enjoying Van Veen's choice of entrance music: Give it ALL. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Ludo Van Veen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
