PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Alexander Engelbreckt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Braida (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Engelbreckt comes to the cage accompanied by If I had a heart. Braida is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Here I am. 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 Brian Braida was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
