PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robert MacArthur Jnr (ranked 401 p4p, 332 weight class) and Apollo Aarnio (ranked 56 p4p, 50 weight class). MacArthur Jnr's entrance music is barbarian pipe band. A fine choice. Well, the cameraman is lingering on a pretty young lady for a bit too long there. Keep your eyes on the prize buddy or you'll miss the fighter intros!
