PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dr A Hedgeh (ranked 1504 p4p, 237 weight class) and Arthur Pendragon (ranked 559 p4p, 87 weight class). Hedgeh kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dr Who?. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
