PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bu Laia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Barry Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laia kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ""E Ala E" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. Scott has chosen Bang - By Barry Scott as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
