PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Cornish (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gwyn Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cornish kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I Came To Play by Step Zero. 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 Gwyn Jones was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
