PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arvo Laar (ranked 2904 p4p, 380 weight class) and Buddy Brandon (ranked 5026 p4p, 568 weight class). Laar comes into the arena with some random 90's estonia dance song i found on youtube blaring out of the sound system. Brandon has chosen All Summer Long as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
