PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jay Jay Mutombo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Baas Baako (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Baako has chosen Acapella Soul - The Lion Sleeps Tonight 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 Baas Baako was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
