PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Toke Axelsen (ranked 1044 p4p, 722 weight class) and Fredrik White (ranked 134 p4p, 89 weight class). Axelsen comes to the cage accompanied by Slipknot - The Virus of Life. White has chosen Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Fredrik White was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
