PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeffrey Lebowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cees Overeem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lebowski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, VHB - Freedom Fighter. Overeem has chosen Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor) 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.
