EG 5: Glorious Death PBP Commentary |
Undercard bout
|
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob Ross (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson comes into the arena with Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner blaring out of the sound system. 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 Bob Ross was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
