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