PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Derrick Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ajax Aquila Corvus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Thomas comes to the cage accompanied by Shinedown - "State Of My Head". 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 Ajax Aquila Corvus was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
