PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ares Constantinides (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blood Bane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Constantinides's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, War by Judas Priest. Bane has chosen Bad Blood as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Ares Constantinides could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Blood Bane's chin.
