PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tree Fortay (ranked 783 p4p, 1981 weight class) and New Breed One (ranked 66 p4p, 185 weight class). Fortay kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Choice Is Yours. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
