PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John Davies (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Davies comes into the arena with Still D.R.E 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 Eddie Sanchez was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
