PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Castle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Farell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Castle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Biohazard- Punishment. Farell has chosen Gang Starr - Full Clip 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 Steve Farell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
