PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Blade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and punishment cruel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Blade kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is For Whom the Bell Tolls. The crowd seem to be enjoying cruel's choice of entrance music: Enter Sandman. 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.
