PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Crewe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Forest Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crewe's entrance music is The Longest Yard. A fine choice. Forest Griffin told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
