PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mark Two (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hank Patterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Two comes to the cage accompanied by North Korean Army Girls Just Want To Have Fun. 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 Hank Patterson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
