PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Nomor Gai (ranked 1214 p4p, 1987 weight class) and John Brown (ranked 156 p4p, 249 weight class). Gai comes to the cage accompanied by Alice Cooper No More Mr. Nice Guy. Brown has chosen My Time as his entrance music. 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 Brown was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
