GMMA: Twelve PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Archie Chie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Boyan Cadell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cadell comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Run to the Hills kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Boyan Cadell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
