PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Quik Yin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sam Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Purity by Slipknot. 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 Sam Williams was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
