PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Allen Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Rave (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rave has chosen What Happened? 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 Craig Rave was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
