PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hugo Eklund (ranked 4217 p4p, 5388 weight class) and Cason Oneill (ranked 447 p4p, 510 weight class). Oneill is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: kavkaz style. 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 Cason Oneill was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
