PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hercules Hoost (ranked 771 p4p, 1837 weight class) and James Howlett (ranked 76 p4p, 193 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Howlett's choice of entrance music: Indestructible. 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 James Howlett was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
