PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roy Henderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Fitzawater (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fitzawater is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Red- Shadows. 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 Mike Fitzawater was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
