PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Naor Yozem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Carlos Aguayo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Yozem kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chris Cornell - You Know My Name. Aguayo has chosen Colegiada by Alex Bueno as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
