PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Peter Gretel (ranked 815 p4p, 377 weight class) and Phil Sprintin (ranked 60 p4p, 24 weight class). Sprintin has chosen Disturbed - Bad Man as his entrance music. 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 Phil Sprintin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
