PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Slim Jim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gabriel Leissner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jim kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Any. Leissner is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by GoToSleep. Gabriel Leissner has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
