PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gustavo Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Johansson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ramirez comes into the arena with White Wizzard - Gates Of Gehenna blaring out of the sound system. Johansson has chosen Electro Rock 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 Bob Johansson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
