PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Liam McGuiness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grigol Pandahammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGuiness might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Boys are Back by Dropkick Murphys. Pandahammer has chosen Heart - Alone as his entrance music. Grigol Pandahammer has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
