PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rafael Souza (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sun Tzu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Souza kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sandstorm. Sun Tzu will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
