PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adam Brzenszczykiewicz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kevin Matthews (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brzenszczykiewicz kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Body Count - Body muthafuckin' count. Matthews has chosen Disturbed-Conflict as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
