PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Pablo Escobar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steffan Stove (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Escobar comes to the cage accompanied by KoRn En Vivo Mtv. 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 Steffan Stove was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
