PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Ira Wright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amr Al As (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wright kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Get Back. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
