PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bwana Mkubwa (ranked 1772 p4p, 80 weight class) and Jeff Messer (ranked 2451 p4p, 102 weight class). Mkubwa kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is You're Going Down. Messer is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Lumberjacks march-by Conway Twittie. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
