PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johan Sven (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Richard Fitzwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fitzwell has chosen RATM - Killing in The Name 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 Richard Fitzwell was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
