PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between James White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Samson Savea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). White comes to the cage accompanied by R.Kelly- The worlds greatest. 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 Samson Savea was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
