PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Wayne Stanley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Artur Zarva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stanley kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Tomorrow. Wayne Stanley looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
