PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Miami Vice (ranked 35 p4p, 71 weight class) and Ernest Graves (ranked 7 p4p, 14 weight class). Vice's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Vice. 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 Ernest Graves was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
