PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Geoffrey King (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmy Blair (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). King comes to the cage accompanied by King of my Castle by Wamdue Project. 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 Jimmy Blair was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
