PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bruce Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Axel Povjeneks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Povjeneks has chosen The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies as his entrance music. Bruce Lee looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
