PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jack Fadden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Reese (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fadden kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is Walk. Jack Fadden looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
