PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Dai Vernon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brent Huthe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vernon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH. Huthe has chosen Rick Derringer - Real American as his entrance music. Dai Vernon could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Brent Huthe's chin.
