PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael McKay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyoto Machida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McKay kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne. Machida has chosen RockStarr as his entrance music. Lyoto Machida has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
