PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John Lakanik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Unkind Artist (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Artist has chosen Dropkick Murphys - Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ya as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
