PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ollie Ritch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles Young (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Young is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Shut 'Em Down. 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 Charles Young was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
