PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mamed Khalidov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hank Noel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Khalidov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mamed - CoreMoon. Hank Noel told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
