PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jose Fontes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Laynpray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Laynpray's choice of entrance music: Estranged by GN'R - all 10 minuets of it.. Jose Fontes looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
