PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Freddy Curtings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Curtings kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Get Up. Jones has chosen P.O.D - Boom as his entrance music. 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!
