PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Murs Kaus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Flay (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flay has chosen . as his entrance music. Flay has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Bobby Flay told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
