PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bubba Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abe Bradley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bradley comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Doesn't Remind Me -Audioslave 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 Abe Bradley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
