PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stan Judea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alfredo Leija (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Judea kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I want to be a woman - Monty Python. The crowd seem to be enjoying Leija 's choice of entrance music: Original Nuttah. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
