PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pyyno Janis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steven Seagal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Janis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rubber Johnny. Seagal has chosen Scheming Dreaming Juggernaut by A Jealousy Issue as his entrance music. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!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.
