PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kimbo Slice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Igor Tatov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Slice kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hit em' Up. Tatov comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Superunknown kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
