PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bruce White Jr (ranked 175 p4p, 372 weight class) and Richard Cheese (ranked 18 p4p, 35 weight class). Cheese has chosen Rape Me as his entrance music. 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 Richard Cheese was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
