PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Roy Nelson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Albert Hoffman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nelson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Don't Mean A Thing. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
