PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hanley Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vic Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ramirez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Take it in Blood -- Nas. Mercer has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
