PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wahoo McDaniel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kenric Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McDaniel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is War Dance. Kyle has chosen Simply Ravishing as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be fireworks!
