PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Marshall Arts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brock Shamrock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shamrock is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Enter Sandman. 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 Brock Shamrock was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
