PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tony Lenny (ranked 21962 p4p, 246 weight class) and Mauricio Gendozo (ranked 5450 p4p, 177 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lenny might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up. Gendozo has chosen Frank Sinatra-Killing me softly as his entrance music. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
