PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Timothy Bourque (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tom Atomic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bourque might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Business Time" by Flight of the Conchords. Atomic has chosen A Kiss to Build a Dream On as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
