PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gareth Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyson Dyson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith's entrance music is Stemm - Face The Pain. A fine choice. Dyson has chosen Sellout by Biohazard as his entrance music. 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 Tyson Dyson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
