PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Demetrius Tektas (ranked 2473 p4p, 269 weight class) and Jack Hanma (ranked 3972 p4p, 408 weight class). Tektas kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alexander The Great. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hanma's choice of entrance music: Rise Against - Prayer of the Refugee. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
