PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Velvet Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gino Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Big Pimpin. Ramirez has chosen Go to sleep as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!
