PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Doug Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ali Newman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Newman is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Truth Is. 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 Ali Newman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
