Battle 7: Apocalypse! PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jay Guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Water (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Water has chosen Mother F***** of The Year- Motley Crue as his entrance music. Jay Guy had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.7lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Chris Water 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!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Already Unconscious (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Demian Gaea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gaea has chosen Angel of Death - Slayer as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Demian Gaea was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
