PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Melvin Manhoef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. The crowd seem to be enjoying Manhoef's choice of entrance music: Killing In The Name. Melvin Manhoef is staring across the ring at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
