PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikael Brophy (ranked 1179 p4p, 177 weight class) and Ramses Xll (ranked 999 p4p, 155 weight class). Brophy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metallica - For Whom The Bell Tolls. Xll comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Immortal - Where Mountains Rise kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Ramses Xll struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.7lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
