PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Wexler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robbie Alcatraz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wexler kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Go To Sleep - Eminem. Alcatraz has chosen The Ducky Boys - Break Me as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
