PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Josh Hara (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeff MaGee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hara comes to the cage accompanied by The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter. MaGee has chosen I Just Had Sex (feat. Akon) 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 Jeff MaGee was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
