PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between John Gites (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Amun Ra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gites might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem - Above The Law . 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 Amun Ra was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
