PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Patrick O Flattery (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Magnus Edwinsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Edwinsson has chosen M by Ayumi Hamasaki as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Patrick O Flattery looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
