PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Brakeley (ranked 2400 p4p, 78 weight class) and George Patton (ranked 2158 p4p, 69 weight class). Brakeley kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Woke up this Morning. Patton has chosen Keep your hands to yourself- Georgia Satellites as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
