PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Dignam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and High Voltage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dignam comes to the cage accompanied by The Ruler's Back. 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 High Voltage was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
