PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Wolf (ranked 517 p4p, 1931 weight class) and Daniel Himes (ranked 84 p4p, 254 weight class). Himes has chosen Oasis - Supersonic as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Daniel Himes was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
