PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nikolay Panayotov (ranked 3246 p4p, 2914 weight class) and Steel Penn Jr (ranked 123 p4p, 103 weight class). Panayotov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Mad World - Gary Jules / Tears For Fears (Cover by Jasmine Thompson). 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.
