PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Lachlan Myers (ranked 21460 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miguel Machin (ranked 4524 p4p, 0 weight class). Myers kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Soldier's Song. Machin has chosen Pandora's Music Box as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Myers has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
