PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Smarky Malarkey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keiji Hashimoto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Malarkey might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to LL Cool J -- Momma said knock you out.. Hashimoto has chosen Chopin's Funeral March in B flat minor as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
