PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Wexler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fernando Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wexler kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Go To Sleep - Eminem. Alves has chosen Rob Zombie - Scum of the earth as his entrance music. Fernando Alves has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
