PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cru Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drako Starnovick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Starnovick has chosen Rammstein - Feuer Frei as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Drako Starnovick was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
