PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jack Hanma (ranked 3616 p4p, 369 weight class) and EA Poe (ranked 1869 p4p, 214 weight class). Hanma kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rise Against - Prayer of the Refugee. Poe has chosen Unleashing The Bloodthirsty by Cannibal Corpse as his entrance music. Jack Hanma is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
