PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hulk Hogan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Semmy Rizzo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hogan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Real American. Rizzo has chosen open road song as his entrance music. Rizzo has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Hulk Hogan had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.0lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Semmy Rizzo will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
