PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Komuto Poebalunaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Huey Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Poebalunaka comes into the arena with Morbid Angel - Rapture blaring out of the sound system. 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 Huey Freeman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
