PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bret Hart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Putzillini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hart kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Vertigo - U2. Putzillini has chosen Battle March Medley as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Bret Hart has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
