PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Drone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Kukushkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Drone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is t.i and ludacris-wish you would. Kukushkin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Kukushka. 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.
