PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bo Bjornson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lurppa Korva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bjornson comes into the arena with why can't we be friends blaring out of the sound system. Bo Bjornson looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
