PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between ILja Muromets (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cash Patrone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muromets kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Krec Паром через. Patrone has chosen Hatebreed - Live for this as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
