PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between brock goodrum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dorian Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think goodrum might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to riot by three days grace. 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 Dorian Freeman was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
