PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Buck Savage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Gimmick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gimmick is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Six Feet Under - War Is Coming. 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 Justin Gimmick was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
