PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Junior Vilson (ranked 303 p4p, 34 weight class) and Gauthier St. Georges (ranked 296 p4p, 33 weight class). Vilson comes to the cage accompanied by Haiti Voodoo Music. St. Georges has chosen Jiu Jitsu as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Gauthier St. Georges was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
