PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Felipe Borba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bark Foreman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Foreman has chosen Gucci Mane - The Recipe 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 Bark Foreman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
