PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Vadim Golovkin (ranked 4 p4p, 32 weight class) and Finn The Human (ranked 1 p4p, 5 weight class). The Human has chosen Adventure Time 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 Finn The Human was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
