PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fabricio Werdum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul McBryant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McBryant has chosen "London Calling" by The Clash as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Paul McBryant was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
