PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Artie Lange (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mikey Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lange might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fire - Bruce Springsteen. 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 Mikey Kim was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
