PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alberto Daniels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daniels's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bad to the Bone. Michaels has chosen Gimme Shelter as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Karl Michaels will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
