PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Pyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Bates (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pyle kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bate Pesadão. Bates has chosen Limp Bizkit - Ready To Go ft. Lil Wayne as his entrance music. Karl Bates struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
