PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Alexandre Nieto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Kirk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nieto might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bullet the Blue Sky. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kirk's choice of entrance music: STAR TREK: Online - Soundtrack OST # 01 - Main Theme . Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.

Nieto has an Americana. Kirk didn't react quickly enough there and he's in big trouble now! He tries to squirm out but is forced to tap! Nieto is delighted and gyrates in front of the ring girls. They seem to like the attention - it'll be interesting to see if Nieto hooks up with any of them at the after show party.
