PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Simon Wiesenthal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clay Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wiesenthal's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Who By Fire. Mercer comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Kid CuDi - Wylin Cuz I'm Young kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Clay Mercer will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
