BFT-170 - Atsushi vs Bonifacio PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Patrick O Sullivan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Axel Whitecoat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Sullivan comes to the cage accompanied by Dropkick Murphys--shipping up to boston. Whitecoat has chosen Seven Nation Army as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Patrick O Sullivan looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
