PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Danze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sami Hyypia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Danze might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Handle ur Bizness by the Mash Out Possee. Hyypia has chosen Hang out the stars in Indiana as his entrance music. Sami Hyypia will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
