PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Martin Gomes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cedric Myton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gomes kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Juelz Santana - Murda Murda. Myton has chosen Yoyo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Cedric Myton will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
