PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ben Knox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Boom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Knox's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Cinderella Man - Eminem. Boom has chosen Fedor Entrance Song as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ben Knox is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
