PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yohan Francis (ranked 629 p4p, 19 weight class) and Big Dog (ranked 480 p4p, 16 weight class). Dog has chosen The 2 Bears - Bear Hug as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Big Dog 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!
