PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Josh Robertson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brando Weiss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Robertson comes to the ring accompanied by State of the union by Rise Against. 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 Brando Weiss was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
