PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Helio Gracie Jnr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Enter The Dragon. 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 Helio Gracie Jnr was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
