PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Jaro Key (ranked 1134 p4p, 821 weight class) and Clarence Boston (ranked 122 p4p, 87 weight class). Key kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is HonestKey- The Unseen. Clarence Boston told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
