PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Tony McMillian (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McMillian comes to the cage accompanied by 2pac-Hit em up. 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 Bobby Jackson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
