PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Artie Lange (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Manny Pacquiao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lange kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ACDC-You Shook Me(All Night Long). I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
