PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ernesto Mathieu (ranked 34 p4p, 155 weight class) and Biscuit Oliva (ranked 4 p4p, 13 weight class). Mathieu kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is F*ck Tha Police by NWA. The crowd seem to be enjoying Oliva's choice of entrance music: Vo Williams - Primal (ft. Vyceroy). Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
