PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Derrick Bradley (ranked 1999 p4p, 4007 weight class) and Ted Meredith (ranked 292 p4p, 515 weight class). Bradley kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sudbury Saturday Night. Meredith has chosen Skinny Boys - Skinny (They Can't Get Enough) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Derrick Bradley has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
