PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Phil Ivey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Metaxa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ivey's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Friday. Metaxa is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by •99• The Haunted🔫. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
