PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Leroy Robinson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jax Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robinson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bring The Pain. 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 Jax Smith was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
