PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between David Cross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shelton Harrell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cross kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen. Harrell has chosen Rock On-David Essex as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
