PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mason Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eric Bradley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson comes to the cage accompanied by Simon Says. 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 Eric Bradley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
