PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Dave Carpio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Skyler Myles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carpio kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Derezzed. Myles has chosen Danger Zone as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
