PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lumpiot Hajalle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drake Macon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Macon is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Rock You Like a Hurricane. 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 Drake Macon was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
