PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matt Pazzini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dexter Rutecki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pazzini's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger. Rutecki has chosen Remember the Name as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Dexter Rutecki has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
