PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Guru Majja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kosti Johannes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Majja kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Afroman - Because I Got High. Johannes has chosen Raised Fist - Killing It as his entrance music. 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.
