PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gary Bunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noel Contemprato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bunn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Go to Sleep - Eminem. The crowd seem to be enjoying Contemprato's choice of entrance music: Cats. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
