PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gary Grice (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hilton Teimosia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grice kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is GZA - Shadowboxin'. Hilton Teimosia told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
