PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cody Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Montel Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rogers kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Get up. Williams has chosen LIMB SNAPPA RED SNAPPA REMIX as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Montel Williams will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
