PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nicolas Stonecold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cody Travers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stonecold's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hell. Nicolas Stonecold looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
