PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carlos Flores (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Flores comes to the cage accompanied by Lazee - im not pop . Gunn has chosen Andrea Bocelli - Time To Say Goodbye as his entrance music. Carlos Flores looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
