PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dude Dudeson (ranked 2913 p4p, 3510 weight class) and Jamison Cassidy (ranked 395 p4p, 461 weight class). Cassidy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Space Oddity by David Bowie. 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 Jamison Cassidy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
