PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hector Kilimanjaro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Morris McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kilimanjaro's entrance music is Metallica-Fade To Black . 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 Morris McDonald was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
