PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Hole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Gonzaga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hole kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kung fu fighting. Gonzaga has chosen Danzig - Mother as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
