PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steve Butabi (ranked 1792 p4p, 61 weight class) and Ricky Hughes (ranked 1928 p4p, 34 weight class). Butabi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I'm so bad (baby I don't care). Ricky Hughes is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
