PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vernon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dmitriy Bukharin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sans Pression - L'étage Subterrain. Bukharin has chosen "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" by Brad Fiedel as his entrance music. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
