PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gary Goodridge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arturas Gelznis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goodridge kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is 50 Cent - Just A Lil Bit . Arturas Gelznis told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
