PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Numero Cero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kirk St Lazarus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cero kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hate Me Now - Nas. St Lazarus has chosen No Worries as his entrance music. Numero Cero is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
