PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sanex Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronnie Putnam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lewis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Snoop DoGG. Putnam has chosen tap out as his entrance music. Ronnie Putnam told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
