PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bj Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anders Jaerderoth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Penn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Heavier than metal. Jaerderoth has chosen Ella ja Aleksi - Kakkaa lumella as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Bj Penn had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
