PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Glenn Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyler Harwood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gunn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is AC DC - Big Gun. Harwood has chosen Break Ya Neck as his entrance music. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
