PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Marco Marshall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edwin Baker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marshall kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Graduation Bitches. The crowd seem to be enjoying Baker's choice of entrance music: Mortal Kombat- Afu Ra. Edwin Baker is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
