PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Cookie Monster (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hale Tommasson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tommasson has chosen Amazing 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 Hale Tommasson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
