PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zako Simmons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Durham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Simmons comes into the arena with I wanna be a balla blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Durham's choice of entrance music: Hed PE - Let's Ride. Mike Durham told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
