PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gerard Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roberto Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Scott kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Live Your Life. 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 Roberto Hernandez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
