PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Moe Lester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lester kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is In The Morning. Putin has chosen you loose as his entrance music. 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.
