PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brett Gray (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Hansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gray's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Buckethead - Soothsayer. Chris Hansen told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
