PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thom Le Bou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson's entrance music is 'Trapped Under Ice' by Metallica. A fine choice. Le Bou has chosen H.A.M. - Kanye west as his entrance music. Jeff Anderson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
