PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Forrest Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Scott (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Griffin comes into the arena with Killing In The Name blaring out of the sound system. 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 Michael Scott was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
