PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rocky Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Walker is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gonna Fly Now (metal version by Sylvain Cloux). 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 Rocky Walker was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
