PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Edgar Plum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juerge Chavez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Plum kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Oficina G3 - Depois da Guerra. Juerge Chavez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
