PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Scott Cain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Collin Glorious (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Glorious has chosen Pimp C - Knockin Doors Down 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 Collin Glorious was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
