PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rudi Voeller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jay Bilger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bilger has chosen its all fun and games as his entrance 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 Jay Bilger was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
