PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Steve Rogers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Pandora (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pandora has chosen Gonna Fly Now as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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 Arthur Pandora was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
