PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Raymond Rabago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Holmes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rabago's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Thursday-Crossout the Eyes. 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 Rocky Holmes was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
