PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vash Stampede (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ewan McGuire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGuire has chosen DMX "Party Up" 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 Ewan McGuire was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
