PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roy Palmer (ranked 399 p4p, 46 weight class) and Antonio Montana (ranked 594 p4p, 64 weight class). Montana comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Push it to the Limit kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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 Antonio Montana was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
