PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Zayne Lutz (ranked 3683 p4p, 4046 weight class) and Shaun Dico (ranked 409 p4p, 430 weight class). Lutz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Born To Lose - Johnny Thunders. The crowd seem to be enjoying Dico's choice of entrance music: Dax - Venom (Eminem Remix ONE TAKE). There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
