PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between DeAngelo Kenner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Silver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kenner comes to the cage accompanied by ''Death Wish'' by Jadakiss feat. Lil Wayne. Silver has chosen Blooddrunk as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 John Silver was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
