PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between August Beach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fedor Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beach kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators - If This Ain't Love. Emelianenko has chosen Enea Vollare Mezzo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
