PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mike Matthews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vinny Palermo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matthews kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is God's Gonna Cut You Down . Palermo has chosen Rock You Like a Hurricane by Scorpion as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
