PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Sun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and RJ McLovin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McLovin is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ready For The Fight. 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 RJ McLovin was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
