PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Shin Dong Hyuk (ranked 4321 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Black (ranked 3180 p4p, 0 weight class). Black is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Thug for Life. 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 Jon Black was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
