PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blaze Bailey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hardy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Coming home -Dirty money. Bailey has chosen Eminem - Lose Yourself as his entrance music. 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 Blaze Bailey was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
