PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jerome Steel (ranked 596 p4p, 324 weight class) and Gauthier Delsarte (ranked 20 p4p, 14 weight class). Delsarte has chosen Ah Non Cest Terrible as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Gauthier Delsarte was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
