PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ronnie Diehl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyrell Tombstone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tombstone is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Five Minutes Alone - Pantera. 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 Tyrell Tombstone was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
