PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Krwawy Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Ehrmantraut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lopez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is DJ Kronic feat. Bombs Away - Looking For Some Girls. The crowd seem to be enjoying Ehrmantraut's choice of entrance music: non existent. Krwawy Lopez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
