PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Phantom Menace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kron Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Menace's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Leroy Brown. Gracie has chosen The Bravery - time won't let me go as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kron Gracie is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
