REVO - 93 PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Simon Harrison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thiago Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harrison comes into the arena with Ocean Colour Scene - Hundred Mile High City 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 Thiago Sanchez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
