PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Julio Cordova (ranked 1728 p4p, 1798 weight class) and Clay Hancock (ranked 174 p4p, 180 weight class). Cordova kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is El Borracho. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
