PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Montel Agious (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lars Limmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Agious's entrance music is Hell Yeah - Rev Theory. A fine choice. Limmer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Fucking In The Bushes - Oasis. Montel Agious looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
