PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Matty Bergs (ranked 6226 p4p, 540 weight class) and Christian Wayne (ranked 5317 p4p, 488 weight class). Wayne is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Slipknot-The Devil in I. 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 Christian Wayne was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
