PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pauline Hanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rod Sanders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hanson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pauline Pantsdown - I Don't Like It. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sanders's choice of entrance music: Freddie Gibbs - Still Livin'. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
