PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eric Esch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fat Pat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Esch comes into the arena with The Butter Bean song blaring out of the sound system. Pat has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Eric Esch has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
