PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremiah Bulldog (ranked 5061 p4p, 3773 weight class) and Miguel Shepherd (ranked 479 p4p, 413 weight class). Shepherd has chosen Everyone's an Outlaw 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 Miguel Shepherd was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
