PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hjalti Eyj (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Coffey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eyj's entrance music is I'm Sexy and I Know It. A fine choice. Coffey has chosen Only Time by Enya as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
