PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ken Floyd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Maxwell Caldeira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Caldeira has chosen under the bridge- red hot chili peppers 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 Maxwell Caldeira was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
