PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Sean Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dexter Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Taylor kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ambitionz Az A Ridah by Tupac. Morgan has chosen Opposite Of Adults as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
