PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aaron Wolf (ranked 114 p4p, 679 weight class) and Bruce Vanorden (ranked 21 p4p, 96 weight class). Vanorden is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Unstoppable . 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 Bruce Vanorden was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
