PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Evander Holyshit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kelvin Garnett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holyshit's entrance music is Lil Wayne- I feel like dying. A fine choice. Garnett is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Metallica - For Whom the Bell Tolls. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
