PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Trent Chapel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Kerns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chapel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Madsen - Nitro. Kerns has chosen Johnny Cash - Hurt as his entrance music. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
