PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Joe Hollis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sehanine Moonbow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hollis comes to the cage accompanied by UGK - Pocket Full of Stones. 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 Sehanine Moonbow was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
