PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Gran Turismo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Francis Grumo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Turismo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, In the Air Tonite by Nonpoint. 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 Francis Grumo was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
