PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Slim Pickens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Dunn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dunn has chosen My Way - Frank Sanatra 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 Alexander Dunn was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
