PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Maxim Galkin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Whitewash (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Whitewash's choice of entrance music: New Divide. 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 Billy Whitewash was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
