PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Axel Montenegro (ranked 1632 p4p, 1549 weight class) and Padraig Ahearn (ranked 49 p4p, 48 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Montenegro might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Battle. Ahearn has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Man, I cannot wait for this one!
