PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Huey Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gustav Reich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freeman comes into the arena with Can't Tell Me Nothing blaring out of the sound system. 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 Gustav Reich was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
