PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Musta Laine (ranked 29 p4p, 5 weight class) and Lao Shin (ranked 24 p4p, 4 weight class). Laine comes into the arena with Disturbed - Sound of Silence blaring out of the sound system. Shin has chosen Shaolin Chamber of Death 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.
