PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robbie Bex (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Theoran Fleury (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bex's entrance music is French. A fine choice. Fleury has chosen Oh Canada! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fleury has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Over to our ring announcer for the fighter introductions!
