PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between James Proudstar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eetu Rauhanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Proudstar comes to the cage accompanied by "Run to the hills" by Iron Maiden. 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 Eetu Rauhanen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
