PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between JP Daniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vitor Belfort (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daniels kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bottom of a Bottle by Smile Empty Soul. Belfort has chosen Old Time's Sake by Eminem Ft. Dr Dre as his entrance music. JP Daniels has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
