PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mannix McGuiness (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jimmer Octopulus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McGuiness might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bare in the Basin - Gaelic Storm. 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 Jimmer Octopulus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
