PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Conan Blood (ranked 3470 p4p, 5103 weight class) and Yngve Laake (ranked 395 p4p, 484 weight class). Laake has chosen Brennan Heart & Jonathan Mendelsohn - Imaginary as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
