PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marcus Monstra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Borre Oppeboen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Monstra comes into the arena with Slayer - Hate Worldwide blaring out of the sound system. 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 Borre Oppeboen was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
