Infinity 59: Almost 420 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gavin Duff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grom Hellscream (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duff's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ride of the valkyries. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hellscream's choice of entrance music: Sure shot. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
