PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Medofe Canana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roland Nolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Canana might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to festa memes. 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 Roland Nolan was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
