PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ciro Bottini (ranked 1496 p4p, 1540 weight class) and Craig Mckean (ranked 195 p4p, 201 weight class). Bottini kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Proteus - Stravaganza. Craig Mckean will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
