PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between DeAngelo Kenner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Codi Gale (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kenner's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, ''Death Wish'' by Jadakiss feat. Lil Wayne. Gale has chosen Gravity kills - Guilty 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.
