PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Rabox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dan Karlsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rabox kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Dr. Macabre - Poltergeist. Rabox is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
