PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Karl De Groot (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jesse Wolfe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wolfe has chosen Immortal Technique- Internally Bleeding as his entrance music. 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 Wolfe was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
