PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tortilla Flats (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorje Slayer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flats kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Metallica: My Apocalypse. The crowd seem to be enjoying Slayer's choice of entrance music: Otep - Battle Ready. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jorje Slayer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
