PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between John Hogan (ranked 4794 p4p, 395 weight class) and Kyle Lane (ranked 4431 p4p, 383 weight class). Hogan comes to the cage accompanied by In The End - Linkin Park. 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 Kyle Lane was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
