PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ryte Hook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yushin Okami (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hook comes to the cage accompanied by Sweet Dreams. 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 Yushin Okami was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
