ECF 23 : PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Huey Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gustav Reich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freeman comes into the arena with Can't Tell Me Nothing blaring out of the sound system. 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 Gustav Reich was going to win. Let's see if he was right.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Steve Austin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bret Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Austin's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Six Million Dollar Man. Hill has chosen Wanted Dead Or Alive by Bon Jovi as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
