PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe West (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dennis DaMennis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). West kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is I'm so sick-Flyleaf. The crowd seem to be enjoying DaMennis's choice of entrance music: Lonely Island - I'm on a Boat (ft. T-Pain). Joe West is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
