PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Luiz Gustavo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Willie Glee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gustavo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is SMOKE SERPENT - Jiu Jitsu. Glee has chosen Metallica - for whom the bell tolls as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
