PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Sparks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Augusto Gai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gai has chosen Hammerhead as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Augusto Gai struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 206.4lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. There are an array of beautiful celebrities at ringside tonight! I wonder if any of them paid for their tickets.
