PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chief Aztec (ranked 202 p4p, 914 weight class) and Greg Connor (ranked 30 p4p, 105 weight class). Connor has chosen Cherub Rock 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 Greg Connor was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
