PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kajun Puno (ranked 12 p4p, 2 weight class) and Michael Brakeley (ranked 205 p4p, 30 weight class). Puno's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, デッドマンズ銃. Brakeley is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Woke up this Morning. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
