Iron Shot 36 - Jewels PBP Commentary

Undercard bout

Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kenny Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ruben Rodrigues (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hill comes into the arena with Its Raining Men blaring out of the sound system. Rodrigues has chosen 2pac as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kenny Hill looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
