PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rory Margarito (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dwayne Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Margarito kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Darude - Sandstorm. Johnson has chosen The Rock Says as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Dwayne Johnson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
