PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jermaine Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcus Hester (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson comes into the arena with Straight Out of Compton blaring out of the sound system. 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 Marcus Hester was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
