ALLIANCE WARS 1 - Finals PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carter Beauford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Obi Konbi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Konbi has chosen Underoath-a fault line a fault of mine as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Konbi has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
