PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Coli Addison (ranked 24449 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edmund Maloney (ranked 4729 p4p, 0 weight class). Maloney has chosen The Sacred War by Alexandrov Red Army Choir as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Coli Addison looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
