PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brutus Satanae (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bubba James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James has chosen Biscuits & Gravy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Brutus Satanae looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
