PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Greenland (ranked 1669 p4p, 1793 weight class) and John Riverson (ranked 62 p4p, 69 weight class). Greenland kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Wanna Be Like You. Riverson has chosen J.Ralph - Kansas City Shuffle as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
