PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stoner Steve (ranked 46 p4p, 191 weight class) and Kobe Okoro (ranked 11 p4p, 28 weight class). Okoro has chosen TOP OF MY GAME 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 Kobe Okoro was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
