PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Kassidy Cullen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Moe Lester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lester is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by I Feel Wonderful. 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 Moe Lester was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
