PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Olyn Seran (ranked 100 p4p, 222 weight class) and Satanic Panic (ranked 16 p4p, 33 weight class). Seran kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sound of Silence - Disturbed. Panic has chosen Freezing Moon as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
