HWP: Dellal v Brown PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bob (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elliot Stabler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bob kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Notkea rotta - Itä meidän. Stabler has chosen Grown Men Don't Cry as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I can't wait for this one - let's get the fighter introductions out of the way and get this one started!

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Congo Ashantie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Doe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ashantie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Congo Ashanti. 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 John Doe was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
