PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Adebisi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marco Grimaldin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adebisi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dr Alban - Hello Africa. Grimaldin has chosen T.N.T AC/DC as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
