PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Moe Lester (ranked 1576 p4p, 195 weight class) and Jay Brown (ranked 2061 p4p, 242 weight class). Lester kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Get Back - Ludacris. Brown has chosen Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
