PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Wayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cam Marks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wayne comes to the cage accompanied by Gangsta's paradise. 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 Cam Marks was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
