PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arvo Laar (ranked 9126 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rui Rodrigo Germano (ranked 3563 p4p, 0 weight class). Laar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is some random 90's estonia dance song i found on youtube. Germano has chosen HIM - Don't Fear The Reaper as his entrance music. Both fighter's entrance songs getting the crowd jumping here.
