PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Otha Roman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Colt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Colt is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Too Late to Back Out.

Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
