PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Krystian Soszynski (ranked 251 p4p, 36 weight class) and Joost Van Buren (ranked 838 p4p, 121 weight class). Soszynski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fire and Flame by Rotting Christ. 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!
