PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eli Takesian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Takesian kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is United States Marine Corps Hymn. Young has chosen Fuck Wit Dre Day (And Everyone's Celebratin') as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Andre Young enters the cage!
