PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matthew Hope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Tyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hope's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Linkin Park - CASTLE OF GLASS. The crowd seem to be enjoying Tyson's choice of entrance music: Mary had a little lamb. Mike Tyson will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
