PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pete Flynn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommy Masters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flynn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Landlord's Walk. Tommy Masters told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
