PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Colin Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Bighouse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bighouse is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Isontalon Antti ja Rannanjärvi. Colin Smith looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
