PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Con Tracode (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Smart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smart has chosen Billy Talent - Red Flag as his entrance music. Con Tracode looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
