PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jean-Claude Marceau (ranked 2 p4p, 101 weight class) and Conrad Tama Ginty (ranked 1 p4p, 14 weight class). Marceau's entrance music is Feist - Tout Doucement. A fine choice. 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 Conrad Tama Ginty was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
