PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dan Kolov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zak Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kolov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Limp Bizkit-Rollin. Jones has chosen Labrinth Earthquake Ft.Tinnie Tempah as his entrance music. Dan Kolov is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
