PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hugh Honey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyron Woodley (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Honey's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Higher Love. 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 Tyron Woodley was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
