PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Conrad Howell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Howell kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is In Bed With Quinsy. Conrad Howell looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
