TWGC 28 (205lbs, D1): St Petersburg Qualifier - Round 1 PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight Tycoon World Grappling Championship rules bout between Alejandro Scott (ranked 1542 p4p, 203 weight class) and Don Petersen (ranked 1796 p4p, 229 weight class). Scott kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Alejandro - Lady Gaga. Petersen has chosen James Brown- Living in America 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 Don Petersen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
