PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sean McNamara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jules Verne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McNamara kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Massive Attack - Teardrop (House M.D.). Verne has chosen Christina Milian - When you look at me as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
