PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Victory Agu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Gunderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Agu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Feel The Pain - Dinosaur Jr. 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 Gunderson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
