PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Captain Gonza (ranked 277 p4p, 41 weight class) and Chris Steve (ranked 56 p4p, 9 weight class). Gonza kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Many Men. 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 Chris Steve was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
