PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Eric Barton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Thoughtless by KoRn. Brooks has chosen Sexy and I know it as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
