PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Owen Schmitt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sepp Maier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schmitt comes into the arena with In God We Trust - Stryper blaring out of the sound system. Maier has chosen Apaga mas não bate as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
