PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lester Jangles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Virgil Keller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Keller's choice of entrance music: War 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 Virgil Keller was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
