PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Sebastien Bartings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Hawks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hawks is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 300 Violin Orchestra. Sebastien Bartings looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
