PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Hakim Hamsho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marles Chartel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hamsho kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jump Around. 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 Marles Chartel was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
