PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andriy Krasnoperov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Blake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Krasnoperov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kashmir - Led Zeppelin. Blake has chosen Metallica - Dyer's Eve as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
