PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Isaac Newton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rex Apollo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Newton might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to One Chance. Apollo has chosen My Bloody Valentine - Loomer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
