PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Raffer Steele (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sultan Bato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bato is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hard as a Rock- ACDC. 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 Sultan Bato was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
