PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Josh Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksander Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Emelianenko has chosen The wanted glad you came xx 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 Aleksander Emelianenko was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
