PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mr Amber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leon The Professional (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Amber kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is yes. The Professional has chosen Chop 'em Down as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
