PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jake Dredd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and flappy jr johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dredd comes to the cage accompanied by Static X = Push it. 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 flappy jr johnson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
