PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chris Van De Kamp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chris Newton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van De Kamp's entrance music is Sister Sin - Fight Song. A fine choice. 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 Chris Newton was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
