PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kaimana Kalainawai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randal Pritchard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kalainawai kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Collie Buddz - She Gimme Love. Pritchard has chosen English Blood, Irish Heart - By Morrissey as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kaimana Kalainawai could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Randal Pritchard's chin.
