PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Phoenix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Phoenix's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Dream Big - Crooked I feat Akon. Black has chosen Disturbed - Indestructible as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Matt Black told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
