PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Matt Spanks (ranked 3256 p4p, 2805 weight class) and George Pierre (ranked 203 p4p, 182 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Pierre's choice of entrance music: O Canada. 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 George Pierre was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
