PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Franco Gomez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse Pinkman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gomez's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bad Motherfucker. 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 Jesse Pinkman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
