PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Lucas Davenport (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Legend Killer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Killer is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Burn In My Light. 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 Legend Killer was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
