PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tony Bunker (ranked 683 p4p, 73 weight class) and Brando Reigns (ranked 967 p4p, 103 weight class). Reigns has chosen Tragedy 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 Brando Reigns was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
