PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marion Cobretti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Riku Haukka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cobretti kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Frank Sinatra - Fly me to the moon. Haukka is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Richie Hawtin - The Tunnel. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
