PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyson Gauge (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alojz Čern� (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gauge kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wiz Khalifa - Errday (ft. Juicy J). 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 Alojz Čern� was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
