PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matt St Pierre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John The Pitbull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

The Pitbull has chosen Three 6 Mafia - It's a Fight as his entrance music. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. Matt St Pierre is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
