PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Scott Fleming (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amirezza Pourramenazanali (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fleming kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is T.N.T.. Pourramenazanali has chosen Godsmack - Cryin' Like A Bitch!! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
