PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roman Reyes (ranked 2004 p4p, 2591 weight class) and George Pierre (ranked 87 p4p, 121 weight class). Reyes comes to the cage accompanied by Zack Hemsey - Vengeance. Pierre comes into a darkened arena with his song building. O Canada kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! George Pierre told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
