PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cedric De Boise (ranked 33 p4p, 106 weight class) and Crusty Bigg (ranked 4 p4p, 18 weight class). De Boise kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Do Your Thing. Bigg has chosen Rocky Top as his entrance music. 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.
