PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mason Island (ranked 2497 p4p, 5622 weight class) and Bob Le Boulder (ranked 116 p4p, 209 weight class). Le Boulder has chosen Monty Python Lumberjack Song as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Mason Island looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
