PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Max Imum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eliézer Machado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Imum kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Candy Paint - Ken Tuck. Machado is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
