PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Doug Graves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenric Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Graves kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alvarez. Kyle has chosen Simply Ravishing as his entrance music. Kenric Kyle told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
