PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Victor Zsasz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mayo Kermode (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zsasz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 2Pac: When We Ride ft. Outlawz. 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.
