PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Timothy Bourque (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kjell Dillonsan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Dillonsan has chosen Mortal combat as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
