CFC 232: Mayhem vs Montana PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mauri Ruoska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joshua Heines (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ruoska's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Sympathy for the Devil. 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 Joshua Heines was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
