PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jin Woo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Wagner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Woo's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Papercut. 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 Bill Wagner was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
