PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hank Aaron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ricky Steamboat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Steamboat's choice of entrance music: Lorde - Tennis Court. 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 Ricky Steamboat was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
