PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ladislav Hemsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Sebastien Veron (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hemsky comes to the cage accompanied by Onward to Victory. 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 Juan Sebastien Veron was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
