PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alex Mahone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vasiliy Sobolev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mahone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Knocking on Heavens Door - Guns n' Roses. Sobolev has chosen Ya kuplu tebe dom as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
