PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dick Glover (ranked 2498 p4p, 264 weight class) and Francisco Baroza (ranked 25207 p4p, 620 weight class). Glover kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Metallica - Don't Tread on Me. Baroza is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Siempre Pelogroso. Dick Glover has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
