PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Castle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derick Murphy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Castle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Holy Wars...The Punishment Due. Murphy has chosen Dance Hall Days 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 Derick Murphy was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
