CFC 46: Midsummer Nightmare PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Babcock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Babcock's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Headstrong. 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 John Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
