PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Van King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Rabox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rabox has chosen Dr. Macabre - Poltergeist as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Rabox has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Chris Rabox looks lathargic as he enters the arena. Wake up son, you're about to have a fight!
