PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Luke Daigle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adelbert Gainsborough (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Daigle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Molesta Ewenement - Wszystko wporzo. Gainsborough has chosen Dope - Debonaire as his entrance music. Adelbert Gainsborough has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
