PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Huimempi Huima (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Hetfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hetfield has chosen Harvester of Sorrow 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 James Hetfield was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
