PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Al Bundy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hjalmar Klason (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bundy's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bad to The Bone. Klason has chosen (Hed) Pe - Raise Hell as his entrance music. 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?
