PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vincent Vinetto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Devin Styles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vinetto kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jay Rock - Wanna Ride. Styles has chosen Wrecking Ball as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
