PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dennis Cerbe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cerbe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Heart Of A Champion. Escobar has chosen Brujeria by La Coka Nostra as his entrance music. Dennis Cerbe is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
