PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Charles Gunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mitchell Stehling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gunn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Audioslave - Exploder. Stehling has chosen Turmion Kätilöt - Minä MÄÄRÄÄN! as his entrance music. Charles Gunn has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
