PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rob Adam (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Yankee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Adam's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Grateful Deads- Truckin'. 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 Jim Yankee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
