PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Bentham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mickey Felipe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bentham kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Death March. Felipe has chosen Ain't That A Kick In The Head as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mickey Felipe has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
