PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sergey Aksenov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Toni Ricester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Aksenov's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Only Tools And Corpses" by Gorerotted. Ricester comes into a darkened arena with his song building. War Vince DiCola kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Toni Ricester has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
