PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Greg Huges (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodrigo De La Renta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Huges's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Buck Dich. Greg Huges had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 156.3lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
