PBP Commentary

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Gorge Jurgel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lars Christiansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jurgel kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rock N Roll Train. Gorge Jurgel looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
