PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Curt Henning (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pcela Ubica (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Henning kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mr. Perfect. Ubica has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! The atmosphere really building for this one as we go over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
