PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terry Bull (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Janko Zwyzke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bull kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Last Shadow Puppets "The Age Of The Understatement". The crowd seem to be enjoying Zwyzke's choice of entrance music: Primal Concrete Sledge. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
