PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Furio Falcone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mic Krilla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Falcone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Hatebreed - Live for this. Krilla has chosen A Tribe Called Quest - Buggin' Out 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.
