PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Paul Zidel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Nergal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zidel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Are You In? - Incubus. Rocky Nergal told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
