PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jerwayne Ashley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gevorg Petrosyan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Petrosyan comes into a darkened arena with his song building. No Turning Back - Stand and Fight kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Gevorg Petrosyan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
