PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nathaniel Clegg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bezerra da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Clegg kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Il mercenario L'arena by Ennio Morricone. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
