PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jay Uzo (ranked 762 p4p, 120 weight class) and Harry Distacio Jr (ranked 611 p4p, 92 weight class). Uzo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Game. Distacio Jr comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Red - Darkest Part kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Harry Distacio Jr told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
