PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Kevin Love (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vadim Vadokowich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Love kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Afterworld. Vadokowich has chosen Metallica - Enter Sandman as his entrance music. Love has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
