PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Don Diego (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Ehrmantraut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Diego kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tupac - I'm a Soldier. Ehrmantraut has chosen non existent as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
