PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ibo Dalamekov (ranked 5853 p4p, 462 weight class) and John Edmonds (ranked 656 p4p, 87 weight class). Dalamekov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Chechen Mob Song. Edmonds has chosen Frankie Smith - Double Dutch Bus as his entrance music. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
