PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Israel Hands (ranked 2920 p4p, 314 weight class) and Eragon Brom (ranked 2740 p4p, 296 weight class). Hands's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, A Collection of Sea Shanties. Brom has chosen Booty 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.
