PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lee Tea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Donald Coffee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tea kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jodie by Saves the Day. Coffee has chosen Fidelity by Regina Spektor as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Donald Coffee is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
