PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Joe Jordan Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Negreanu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Negreanu has chosen Make Her Say - Kid Cudi as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Daniel Negreanu was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
