PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Phil Gunderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Cortez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gunderson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dayman song. Cortez comes into a darkened arena with his song building. About that time kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Cortez has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Joseph Cortez is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples.
