PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between McGillicuddy Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Devil Jho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jho comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Into the Abyss kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Devil Jho was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
