PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ezekiel Xzavier (ranked 4427 p4p, 159 weight class) and Randy Savage (ranked 4995 p4p, 173 weight class). Xzavier comes to the cage accompanied by Drowning in the dark by- STATIC-X. Savage has chosen Holy Diver by-DIO as Lazers go off as plays as Confetti drops from the cei as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
