PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Schlock Leznar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Connor Wellington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Leznar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Champ by Ghostface Killah. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wellington's choice of entrance music: Radiohead - Reckoner. Connor Wellington is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
