PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Lyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Humphry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lyle comes into the arena with Sick Puppies-Youre going down blaring out of the sound system. Humphry has chosen Iggy And The Stooges - as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
