PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Latka Gravas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Mammoth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mammoth has chosen Tech N9ne-Demons feat.Three Six Mafia 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 The Mammoth was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
