PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andrus Laane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bio Hazzard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laane kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Akon - Never Gonna Get It. Hazzard has chosen Warrior's Dance 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.
