PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Demetrious Johnson (ranked 3372 p4p, 3199 weight class) and Rafael Soto (ranked 209 p4p, 203 weight class). Johnson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Face the Pain. Soto has chosen Octavio Meza y su Conjunto - La Pelea Con El Diablo as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
