PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Benny Sigvardsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hugh Knobber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sigvardsson comes to the ring accompanied by My Way by Frank Sinatra. 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 Hugh Knobber was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
