PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Mad Cow (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Kildahl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kildahl has chosen dont get up as his entrance music. 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 Sam Kildahl was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
