PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ivan Komarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franz Kafka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Komarov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is -. Kafka has chosen Dance Hall Days as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
