PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lock Bresnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cyrus Great (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bresnar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is ABOVE THE LAW - murder rap. 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.
