PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Ross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buakaw Nahwatsu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ross kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Swedish House Mafia-One. Nahwatsu has chosen The Two Towers as his entrance music. Buakaw Nahwatsu will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
