PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Dettman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Numero Cero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dettman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tupac-me and my girl friend. Cero has chosen Hate Me Now - Nas as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters really staring each other down here, as Numero Cero enters the cage!
