PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between The Prophet (ranked 2409 p4p, 2463 weight class) and Jimmy Doyle (ranked 89 p4p, 91 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Doyle's choice of entrance music: The Clash - Jimmy Jazz. 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 Jimmy Doyle was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
