PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Feilo Meloy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Vieira Moreira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Meloy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss. Moreira has chosen Voodoo People - Prodigy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
