PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Big Reed (ranked 4175 p4p, 2588 weight class) and Zion Uroway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Uroway's choice of entrance music: "The Blob" Theme song from 1958. 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 Zion Uroway was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
