PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergey Volkov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James comes to the cage accompanied by Judas Priest -Painkiller. 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 Sergey Volkov was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
