PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between John Locke (ranked 1554 p4p, 213 weight class) and Argat Khan (ranked 1666 p4p, 226 weight class). Locke kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is What Makes a Good Man. Khan has chosen Can't be touched 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 Argat Khan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
