PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Romulus Gerber (ranked 1693 p4p, 1719 weight class) and Dean Corll (ranked 255 p4p, 261 weight class). Corll has chosen Candyman 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 Dean Corll was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
