PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Blaze Hastings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arne Kaurismaa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hastings comes to the cage accompanied by Blazin Hazen - Avarage Homeboy. Kaurismaa is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by DJ Neon - Track 5. 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 Arne Kaurismaa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
