PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jew Doh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Morten Iversen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doh kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hurt - NIN. Iversen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Eminem - Bully. Morten Iversen has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
