PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Joe Heller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Edwards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Edwards's choice of entrance music: Welcome To The Jungle. 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 Juan Edwards was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
