PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Mayo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sid Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mayo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Super Furry Animals - Golden Retriever. Savage has chosen the scatman as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sid Savage will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
