PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Baeddan MacAuliffe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Franklin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacAuliffe kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Notorious by Duran Duran. Franklin has chosen Tron Cat- Tyler, The Creator as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that James Franklin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
