PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Montgomery (ranked 1269 p4p, 180 weight class) and Luc Gagnon (ranked 2319 p4p, 297 weight class). Montgomery's entrance music is Right Said Fred - I'm Too Sexy. A fine choice. Gagnon has chosen Annihilator - King of the Kill as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Luc Gagnon has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
