PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brooklyn Harmony (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Randy Maramot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harmony's entrance music is Human by The Killers. A fine choice. 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 Randy Maramot was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
