PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Albert Hitchenfrog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Connor O Mally (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). O Mally has chosen Dropkick Murphys - Rose Tattoo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
