PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Johnson Briggs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shawn Shurk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Briggs comes to the cage accompanied by Can't Be Touched. Shurk has chosen Achy Breaky Heart as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Shawn Shurk was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
