PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Yrjoe Velmu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chad Hardy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Velmu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Andrea Bocelli - Por ti volare. Hardy has chosen Run this town 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 Chad Hardy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
