PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Juan Corona (ranked 1392 p4p, 1627 weight class) and Pinero Chai (ranked 193 p4p, 221 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Corona might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Lil Baby, Lil Durk - How It Feels. Chai comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Styles P - Off The Ghost kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Juan Corona is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
