PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roman Petkovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Calaway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Petkovic kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is BvC Crew - KOSOVO. Calaway has chosen R.I.P. as his entrance music. 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.
