PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fred Burton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff Sobchak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Carcass - Keep on Rotting in the Free World. Burton is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. 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 Jeff Sobchak was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
