PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brano Mc Gregor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Gonzalez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gonzalez comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Hail Mary - Tupac kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Brano Mc Gregor looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
