PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Albright (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paolo Nazaire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Albright kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rascal Deep Down. Nazaire is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Spaceape (Burial). Paolo Nazaire is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
