PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between War Tank (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jamarcus Winters (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Winters's choice of entrance music: The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony. 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 Jamarcus Winters was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
