PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jenkka Kahva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dandy Swanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kahva's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Kryptonite. Swanson has chosen Kill For Satan as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
