PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrew Diotte (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quinton Lind (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diotte kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Cypress Hill - I Want 2 Get High. Lind has chosen Ice Cube & Dr Dre - Natural Born Killaz as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Andrew Diotte is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
