PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mac Mcgregor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vanapa Animai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Animai is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Here comes the hotstepper. Mcgregor has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
