PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Erik Skarsgard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Balboa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Skarsgard's entrance music is In Search of Vikings. A fine choice. 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 Rocky Balboa was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
