PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Farrell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Paul Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Farrell kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enter Sandman. Paul Jr has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Buckle up people - heeeeeeeeeere we go!
