PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quinton Lind (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Lindros (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lind comes to the cage accompanied by Ice Cube & Dr Dre - Natural Born Killaz. 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 Eric Lindros was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
