PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jamie Gold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gold kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH. Hardy comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Ambitionz Az A Ridah kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Andre Hardy has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
