PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyrone Frazier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nathan Speed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Frazier kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is James Brown - Living In America. The crowd seem to be enjoying Speed's choice of entrance music: Skrillex / Kill Everybody. 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.
