PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nigel Beanhead (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin McKillop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McKillop has chosen Nowhere to run as his entrance music. 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 Martin McKillop was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
