PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Cornish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phineus Gage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cornish's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, For Whom The Bell Tolls (Instrumental) by Metallica. Gage has chosen Otis Taylor - Ten Million Slaves as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the fighters buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
